We are indebted to D. NJ. Thompson
of Spokane Falls, W.. T. for copy Of
the Portland oregonian, giving very
interesting description Of the thriving
young city of Spokane Falls. 1t is an
other instance of a rapidly growing west
ern city, but unlike many of them it
has promising future before it.
The plste-glass fronts for the West,
litchfield, Schleuder. Roberts, and Hill
blocks have arrived, and fine glass it is
too. Lyman Baird also had an order in
the same lot, which should have been
here over month ago. Good glass, but
long time In getting around, and has
put Mr.. Baird to considerable inconven-
fence.
Mr.. Thompson, the man who built
the school house in Third ward, has the
contract for building the new N. E.
church. The foundation is all in, AID
work on the new building will be COM
menced as soon as the material can be
secured. It is expected the new church
will be ready to hold services in, by the
first of December.

St. Paul Globe.-B. F.. Farmer, of
Spring Valley, was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Farmer is prominent citizen in that
part of the country and has just returned
from Austin, where company has been
organized for manufacturing brick.
There is an inexhaustible supply of red
clay at Austin, and Mr., Farmer claims
the new company can make brick of
quality superior to the St. Louis brick.
Al. Friedrich was out on a bycic'e
tour last week. Started from Austin
Tuesday morning and rode to Cresco.
Iowa, q distance of Ga miles, making it
at the rate of eight miles per hour.
Wednesday morning he started ON the
return trip, reaching Leroy little be-
fore neon, over half the distance back,
and from there had to come home on the
train, on account of heavy rain. Quite
trip, and the time much better than could.
be made with team.
Sunday Globe: Il called on P. II =.
Kelley to-day" said Col. Mansfield, Of
Austin, on Wednesday. land he said:
Colonel, I'm glad to meet you That
was very kind of him, because, though I
had never met him before. had done
some conscientious fighting against
him" COL Mansfield is character.
You cannot appreciate the type of poll
tician and citizen that he represents un-
less you have met him. The famous Col.
Yerger, of Texan soils. might be his coun
terpart. Says Col. Mansfield: Il don't
ask an Office of the government. have
enough of my own to live off of for 20
years to come; but would like to secure
a position that would take me into a
climate that would cure my catarrh. Did
you ever have nasal catarrh? Never?
Well, it's worse than an itch for Office.
Did get the catarrh in Austin? Oh, no;
had it ever since 1 was young man. I
don't want an Office, but if President
Cleveland could remove my complaint
with an appointment wouldn't hesitate
long"
